here is the Tornado in RED:

Well if you read Jims thread about PDIs, if you don't get it pdied by either IB or the seller and you do it yourself YOU WILL HAVE WARRANTY PROBLEMS. From reading the Warranty it looks like the only thing that is covered is the ENGINE and GEARBOX.

Like I said the only parts on the warranty are the MOTOR and GEARBOX everything else is out of your pocket. If the CDI goes you pay and install it, If the Regulator/Rectifier goes you pay and install it or pay someone to do it.

But good luck Bro and keep us posted when the sucker comes in and your riding in the wind.

Alley,
I thought there was some parts covered under warranty during the time frame. You said If the CDI goes you pay and install it, If the Regulator/Rectifier goes you pay and install it or pay someone to do it. I'm confused here why would I have to pay? I know if a shop puts it in I have to pay them, but lets say the CDI goes bad it's covered under warranty can't I just call my dealer and say hey the CDI is bad send a new one and I will put it on?

Who is FMS?

That information is not correct.

Ex certs from www.icebearatv.com/warranty


"Electrical system: Stator, stator pickup, magneto, voltage regulator/rectifier, CDI, starter relay/starter solenoid, starter motor, coil, distributor assembly and injector relay are covered under this warranty."

"Parts not covered under this warranty:
Tires, rims, body panels, fuses, forks, shocks, gaskets, light bulbs, seats, CV Boots, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, filters, clutch wear parts, cables, drive belt, chain, spark plug, brake linings and/or pads, batteries, sprockets, external springs, clips, nuts, bolts and fasteners, any part(s) made from rubber. Chrome parts are covered for 10 days."

As far as warranty time and limitations:

"Trike products:
Parts are covered under this warranty to be free from manufacturer defects for 6 months & engine is covered to be free from manufacturer defect for 1 year or 1500 miles, whichever comes first."

"Additional Warranty Policy for Drop Shippers:
Dropshipping Dealers will be required to submit the receipt for PDI and initial assembly from a professional mechanic shop with each warranty claim. Units which are drop shipped directly to the end user in crate without PDI and assembly by a certified/professional mechanics will have a shorter warranty period as follow:

Trike products:
Parts covered under this circumstance to be free from manufacturer defects for 60 days on parts & engine is covered for 3 months or 500 miles, whichever comes first:

In other words if you do the PDI yourself then the above warranty limitation takes effect.

Labor is not covered at all, just parts and the end consumer pays for shipping.

Tierod,


Hope you know that the Tornado you bought is a 2011 without the new mods. These Tornados were trikes that failed EPA standards, were repaired to meet the EPA standards and are now being offered for sale. The main issue I was told about was the carb not being a sealed carb. The EPA has really got on the band wagon over this sealed carb stuff.

I had a customer that was interested in one of these Tornados but, opted to wait till the new ones came out. That is how I know about these.

The ETA for the new 300s has been pushed back until sometime in June. They have not even left China yet.

Enjoy your Trike.

Mine was just over 6 months when that happen, like I said IB always came thru for me. Jim I think you are right about FMS, but IB said if I needed any parts order thru you. They just said they were no longer in business. They did ask if I had a warranty issue and I said no and it was out of warranty and passed your number to me. Thanks for your help the other day I n a ride ustill have not taken a ride up to get that part yet but it is there
